SE2E15(M): NCS Playoff Preview

This is Episode 15 of Season 2 of The RUN TMC Podcast.

In this special preview episode, Dave, Duffy and their team of correspondents preview the North Coast Section basketball playoffs and discuss the merits and challenges of the new "competitive equity" based seeding system. 

Player Control Clarifications:

1) On the Boys Side, Castro Valley is a #15 seed

2) This production was a bit rushed due to goal of getting the episode out before games commenced. So excuse glitches, such as the double Stroke 9 intro. Of course, we can all use a bit more Stroke 9 in our podcasting. 

Show Notes:

(G): Content is Mostly Global Interest Topics

(M): Content is Mostly Inside Marin Topics
